SAN DIEGO, CA - May 12, 2025 - Glasswing AI, the leader in AI discovery and network-based AI security platforms and AI firewalls, today announced a dynamic partnership with ThreatSTOP, a global provider of advanced DNS-based security. Together they give enterprises a single, automated way to discover every AI service in use and immediately block anything that violates policy.  On-Premises, in the cloud, or for remote workers.

Unprecedented Visibility and Control Over AI Vendor Usage

Glasswing AI automatically discovers every AI service accessed from inside the network and shows exactly who is using each tool.  Its dashboard and reports let security teams enforce data-loss-prevention policies, distinguishing sanctioned AI from shadow AI.

Glasswing AI’s proprietary AI-vendor database is ten times larger than the nearest competitor, offering unmatched breadth and depth of coverage. This expansive intelligence allows organizations to keep pace with the explosive growth of generative AI solutions, from industry giants to niche providers.

Automated, Policy-Driven Blocking with ThreatSTOP

ThreatSTOP’s Protective DNS turns Glasswing’s discovery data into real-time enforcement:

  • Blocks connections to any non-approved AI vendor on the first DNS lookup.
  • Integrates with existing firewalls, routers, DNS servers, and security stacks; no new hardware or endpoint agents are required
  • Provides continuous policy updates and detailed reporting that reduce incidents and Helpdesk tickets.

Driving Security Compliance and Global Leadership

By uniting Glasswing AI’s unparalleled vendor discovery and visualization with ThreatSTOP’s automated DNS enforcement, enterprises benefit from:

  • Blocking All Unwanted AI Traffic: Using Glasswing AI’s industry-leading AI vendor database in conjunction with ThreatSTOP’s DNS blocking capabilities organizations can stop all unwanted AI traffic from leaving the organization, stopping the transmission of sensitive data from SaaS usage, internal systems, or agentic
  • Respond in Real time: Glasswing AI and Threatstop operate in real-time, without scanning or the use of agents.
  • Deploy in under an hour
  • Identify usage with 10x greater accuracy
  • Differentiate licensed vs. unlicensed AI tools: Glasswing AI and ThreatSTOP can rapidly solve the unwanted use of AI as well as managing the use of AI regarding licensed versus unlicensed AI vendors.
  • Redirection: By using ThreatSTOP’s redirection an organization can route any employee to a custom message using administration policy configuration – “Please note that company policy prohibits the use of ChatGPT”, for example.

A New Era for AI Vendor Management

“For the first time, enterprises can not only see every AI system in use but also automatically enforce their AI usage policies at the network level,” said Brett Helm, CEO and Co-founder of Glasswing AI. “Our partnership with ThreatSTOP delivers a unified, automated solution for AI risk management-empowering organizations to innovate with AI safely and securely.”
